They look up to her as though she is a super star!!!! and she really is!!! THANK YOU NIYA!!! you are a beautiful human being!!!! DAD and MOM! you created a beautiful flower!!!!!
I believe 1,000 of these views came from me. Lol..This is breathtaking and it makes me so full. It builds me. Thank you all.
I love the blend of r&b with the orchestra and then the piano accompaniment sooooo nice and the vocalist is amazing
Cant believe all this guys are just musicians from college! Outstanding. Definitely like this song!
I've watched this 17 times already, and I'm still going. The emotion, the power, the control, the message. I've never seen such a beautiful performance.

BRILLIANT!!!
Found this gem on Spotify! Amazing song and well done to the entire team for pulling it off so exceptionally!
I was accepted to Berklee, way back in 68. Things were so difficult with Crazy government at that time…. They did not except music students as real students, only those with education degrees. Now i watch and see all this talent abound. It makes me happy! You students are the cream of the crop! Love you all !
Beautiful ❤️
omg... just lovely
